WATCH: Malema - 'Zuma is starting again, we are tired of Butternut’

EFF leader Julius Malema is not pleased with the fact that taxpayers will be paying lawyers representing him on his corruption case.

Zuma appointed senior counsel Mike Hellens who will replace Advocate Kemp J Kemp‚ who acted for Zuma for over a decade.

He will act for the former president when he appears in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on 27 July.

Addressing a large crowd in the Eastern Cape on Sunday, Malema said the lawyers will charge R150 000 a day.
